I think Lauren Bacall's brilliant

Al - sorry you had to "take your medicine" - I guess its a *bit* easier when you know you're actively trying to leave, but its never good

Haha Floppy. By the way I got a solo comb today-was that your recommendation? The Plops likes it much more than mane pulling.

KC I won't have to work with her too much longer...

The grass was being cut in the next door field and Plops had to watch a giant tube spewing cut grass into her field. Wow was she conflicted!

Yep like that. So an Andalusian or a Lusitano. Was in Portugal a year or so ago and some of the gentlemen riding in the Portuguese school were ...umm. portly I think might be the polite way of putting it.
Also any horse that can carry two large drums, a hefty man and do flying changes must be up to weight.

So the resignation deadline looms and I seem to have failed to move jobs this year.

There is also nothing doing on the house selling front.

I am also oscillating wildly between "dream home" = bigger mortgage and "smaller semi with land" which would bring the mortgage down.

All a bit academic since no buyer.

Kids are off cycling with the grandparents today so an opportunity for more moderation work.

The dog had been sick on the doormat this morning. The result of eating near a kilo of dandelions and goose grass yesterday.

Anyway, things I am grateful for


* the lilac I can see from my bed
* three gorgeous healthy children
* Plops and Puppylove
* DH
* We both have jobs.

Two hours' moderation admin done. That is six hours just in calling for the samples for all my centres.

Ugh. Well done you!

I'm at the point of having all my samples here, just need to moderate them...

On the move to the big house question, its got to be personal choice, factoring in how much you change your mind!

Having gone from tiny to FAR too big, I would say we should have gone a bit more in the middle. I try to earn extra money off the rooms though.

For me views and being in the country were important and still would be, but I'd be quite happy to throw a lot of carp out, and live in a smaller house.

Apple my centres have been a bit tardy, but I do admit I can now start...

Earthie I mostly feel that way too, we have one room we just never use, what a waste!

I have been reading a blog about sobriety, something very much in my thoughts at the moment.

NSD. One student to revision. Hard to believe Physics on Weds.

No other news.
